Visiting seventh graders from Bear Grass Charter School were divided into three groups for educational activities: Pier Fishing, Solar Cars and Squid Dissection.
On the fishing pier, the seventh graders shared tidbits of their lives while waiting for the bite. From tiny bluefish to a big black drum, all three groups reeled in fish.
One boy said he usually fishes for “big mouth bass,” and another one targets catfish back home.
Briana Meeks caught and released a dogfish shark and seemed pleased. She mentioned some additional accomplishments
“I’ve been on the A, B Honor Roll twice,” Meeks said. “I also made one hundred prayer cloths and gave them away at ECU Hospital.”
